Shangrila has gotten even better. We have a fire table on the deck that is great to watch & to keep you warm on chilly nites. Also, my son, Gino, & his sweet dog, Frida, are cohosting with me. Frida is never allowed in the guest room.
The delightful Occidental Bohemian Farmers Market continues Fri. evenings till the end of Oct. T
If you long to get your hands dirty, but don't have a garden, we'll share ours. There's always something to do!

Your spacious room overlooks a redwood forest with a meadow & wooded hills beyond. You may think you want to visit Sonoma County vineyards, beaches, or the Russian River, but once you're here, you may not want to leave. The room is quiet. You have your own bathroom called "The Mexi" because of Mexican tiles & mementos of travels in that country. There is safe, off street parking. You are within walking distance of the picturesque village of Occidental where there are good restaurants, gift shops, & tennis courts. People also love to ride bicycles around here even tho the roads are narrow, curvy, & steep. We are early risers & will have coffee ready by 7:00 with a gourmet continental breakfast including home pressed organic apple juice, homegrown organic seasonal fruits, homemade jam & special sweets. We are well situated as a stopover, but we could also be a destination. We have lawn Bocce ball & horse shoes. For rest after those exertions, there are hammocks in the redwoods. There is such good bird watching here that the local Audubon stops here during their Xmas bird count. When the weather isn't conducive to outside time, there is a fireplace in the living room. We love to share this beautiful place. Come on over!

We loved the Mary's place!! She was great friendly host. Her homemade apple juice were amazing! Room had an air conditioner which helped a lot since it was hot day. Surrounded by huge trees, woke up with birds singing, highly recommended!!

My boyfriend and I were lucky to find such a wonderful, hospitable hostess on our first night in California. Mary's house was warm (real fireplace!) and full of interesting paintings and photographs. The room features a sky window and two large windows that offer a view of the surrounding woods. It was quiet throughout the evening aside from the soft pitter patter of the rain and we were able to enjoy a deep restful sleep. Mary provided a very delicious breakfast of apples, figs, and a muffin along with coffee that helped kick off a great morning the next day. Thanks so much, Mary!

Suzie2015-12-21T00:00:00Z

Beautiful property--built to take advantage of the majestic redwoods growing around the home. Two-night stay--super close to Monte Rio and the wonderful Oxidental communities. Mary and her husband were great hosts--providing much needed advice and directions. And we left with a take-away breakfast of home grown apples and wonderful bread. Felt more like a stay with family...

Jim2013-09-23T00:00:00Z

We had a wonderful time staying at Mary's quaint home in the woods! Mary was a very gracious host and provided everything we needed for a memorable experience (including bug repellent!). We enjoyed lying in the hammocks looking up at the tall redwoods surrounding the wooded property. The room is very private as it and the bathroom are separated from the rest of the house by a door. Mary served us a delicious continental breakfast, including homemade apple juice and preserves, all made from fruit grown on the property. Would highly recommend and will definitely plan on returning.

Anna2015-06-21T00:00:00Z

We loved this place. The air is so crisp out in the redwoods. It was a great getaway.

Emily2017-07-22T00:00:00Z

Lovely home in a beautiful location! Mary and her son were very kind, wish we could have stayed longer! ❤️

Katrina & Larry

It's a quiet dead end road. There are houses close by but people keep to themselves.

My wife and I had a fantastic stay. It was an escape a bit out of the way that allowed for perfect relaxing evenings but close enough to wine country and the coast for activity-filled days. We loved the look and feel of the house (great light and view of beautiful trees!) and the wood stove on the cool evenings. The arrival and departure process was a breeze and Katrina and Larry provided everything we needed for a great stay.

Keith2015-08-15T00:00:00Z

This place has the wow factor in spades! The cabin is expertly designed and executed, surrounded by utterly beautiful woodland which is uses in the best way. It was stocked with absolutely everything we could have needed - in fact we needn't have bought most of the things we got at the store in advance of arriving! I'm quite gutted we weren't staying longer and had to head off in the morning. The Russian River valley is stunning, as is the nearby coastal area. Although we didn't meet, Katrina was really lovely over e-mail and told us everything we needed to know. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again, and it's definitely worth a detour! For those based in the UK - this is basically like staying in a 'Grand Design'!

Eloise2012-11-29T00:00:00Z

This cabin is perfect for a quiet getaway. The interior is simply gorgeous, and you are surrounded by redwood trees on a quiet street. The house was fully stocked with everything you could ever need. Wonderful kitchen for cooking. We wish we could have stayed there for a week. Definitely would love to return someday! Thank you so much, Katrina!

Cathy2015-10-18T00:00:00Z

The Cabin in the Redwoods exceeded our expectations and we are both well-traveled and perfectionistic. It was our second AirBnB experience and it totally lifted the bar. There was absolutely nothing missing, which made our stay completely heavenly. We almost don't want to say how much we love it because we want to make sure it's available on our next visit! Katrina was very accommodating and though we didn't get to meet we felt she was completely available.

Sandi2015-08-17T00:00:00Z

Is not often that we get "architecture envy" but this place totally blow our minds! Perfect location after exploring the sea side and driving through the redwood forest to finally open the door to the most amazing cabin i've ever seen! perfect furniture, perfect space and a ready to go fireplace! We cannot wait to be back ! Pure "architecture envy" Pedro & Judit

pedro2015-05-20T00:00:00Z

We needed to book without much notice. Both Katrina and her husband were awesome. They made the effort to stay in contact with us. When we arrived the place was toasty with a lovely fire burning in a very easy to use stove. They left plenty of wood to keep it going, as well. The place was clean, well designed and beautiful. There were very large windows with fantastic views of the surrounding redwoods. The bed and bedding were quite nice. The kitchen was state of the art. Very nice dishes and appliances. The living area was comfortable and tasteful with a large flat screen TV. We arrived on Halloween and to our delight found a glittery pumpkin decoration and orange hand soap in a black dish in the (URL HIDDEN) place was centrally located to enjoy this incredibly beautiful area of the Northern California coast. We would highly recommend this for a week or weekend.

Andrew and Dalya2012-11-04T00:00:00Z

The cabin was surrounded by towering redwoods. We felt welcome and communication was easy. Katrina made sure we knew how to reach her if we needed anything but we didn't because everything we needed was already taken care of. There was firewood, fresh towels, a very comfortable bed, a well-supplied kitchen, Apple TV for watching movies, lots of nooks to relax in. The cabin itself was beautiful and cozy. We didn't want to leave!

Tracy2014-10-13T00:00:00Z

The property was exactly as listed and Katrina was very prompt and accommodating throughout the experience.

Our sweet and cozy studio cottage comfortably fits two and is perfect for a romantic wine country river getaway. It is convenient to all that Guerneville and wine country have to offer but so peaceful and comfortable that you may not want to leave.

Please check the calendar for availability. If it says it is available it is actually available. ;)
Adorable studio cottage on a vineyard just minutes from the Russian River!! Absolutely perfect for a romantic weekend getaway. Spend your day tubing down the river (10 min walk), eating lunch in the town of Guerneville (4 min drive), exploring wine country (many wineries very close, only 3m to Korbel) and return to a giant welcoming covered front porch to enjoy a glass of wine.
Enjoy amazing views of the vineyard in your own fully stocked cottage built for two.
Overall Space: Very cozy, hotel alternative studio is perfect for a maximum of two people. Your own little tiny house!
Living/sleeping area includes a queen size bed with a new organic Keetsa mattress and small sitting area.
Front Deck: Large, covered front porch with table and chairs for dining outside, a large 3 burner gas grill and comfy lounge furniture. A great place to sit, enjoy a glass of wine and relax.
Back Deck: Small deck with a table and two chairs overlooking the vineyard. Perfect spot to have your morning coffee and watch the fog lift off of the vineyards.

The cottage is on a quiet residential street that backs a beautiful vineyard. There are neighbors on each side but it still feels very secluded and private.
****Please note, the vineyard in the backyard is a working farm. On occasion there are sounds of tractors and harvesting at early or late hours.****

This place was exactly what we were looking for - quite, peaceful and with a magnificent view of the vineyards. Everything was spotless! The location is great, only a short ride to the downtown of Guerneville and maybe about 20 min to Healdsburg through the Westside road with most of the Russian River vineyards along the way. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a scenic escape from the city and those looking for some winetasting and exploring local art galleries.

Leo2015-10-03T00:00:00Z

My girlfriend and I came up here for a weekend getaway and couldn't have been more happy with the place! The views out the backyard alone make it worth the trip. Close to everything you need in Guernville, but secluded enough to make for a great romantic weekend. We will be back for sure!

Kevin2015-04-27T00:00:00Z

Really adorable and charming place in a great area - we truly loved our stay! We were bummed that the infamous coffee that we had read so much about wasn't there but we were grateful for the caribou that was left over for us :) Guerneville has won us over and we hope to return in the future! Thanks Tim and Rachel!

Ashley and Michael2014-05-09T00:00:00Z

This cottage was absolutely everything we wanted--just as advertised and better! We cooked our entire Thanksgiving dinner in Rachel and Tim's well stocked kitchen. The vineyard view is beautiful, the walk to the river is idyllic, and the air smells like heaven. We spent a couple of candlelight meals on the porch after using the grill. Having the Roku really was a plus. And added bonus for us, the awesomely cuddly neighbor cat who greeted us on arrival and kept us company when we wanted it. Wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. Great value, flexible check in and check out, and communicative hosts. Thanks again!

Kat2012-11-26T00:00:00Z

We had a great time in Rachel's cottage! Is as depicted in the pictures and is located in a nice area too! We would book with them again if we are lucky enough to go back visit any time soon :)

Carolina2014-06-26T00:00:00Z

Rachel and Tim were very accomodating hosts. Their cottage is located in a quiet area with scenic surroundings. This was the type of setting Jacqueline and I were hoping to experience. Drinking wine while overlooking a vineyard and watching the sunset from the deck was an awsesome experience. Good for the mind and soul.

Wesley2015-09-15T00:00:00Z

This place is awesome! Rachel was great with instructions on how to access the property and the space was clean and tidy. The remodel looks awesome and the front/back decks were great places to hang. Would come back in a heartbeat; definitely a recommend to all!

Cullen2015-03-16T00:00:00Z

We had a lovely relaxing weekend at Rachel and Tim's cute cottage in Russian River. We absolutely loved waking up to the view of the winery in the back, taking walks in the surrounding forest, and sitting out on the porch sharing a great meal in the evening. It had all the amenities including a fully equipped kitchen, and it was very easy to communicate with them. We'll definitely be coming back!

"This is one of the most special places on Airbnb." - Beau, August 2017.
"A most sublime space, location, feel, aroma. Spoil yourself and take advantage of one of the most peaceful and beautiful spaces I have been. More specifically, the comforts - beds, pillows, views, kitchen, etc. all are five star." - Tim, Oct 2015

Featured on the TV show “Tiny House Hunting," s02 e11. Contemporary, comfy home with hot tub overlooking the Russian River Valley in Sonoma County. Modern living amidst ancient redwoods. Said one guest: "I haven't been this at ease in years." See why
"I am convinced Robert's place is the best airbnb ever."
"PERFECT. I can't wait to come back."
"MAJOR PROPS for the speaker system."
“I've probably already taken 200 photos from your deck."
“I haven't been this pleased and at ease in years."
“You have the most lovely and righteous oasis in the woods."
“Feeling so lucky to be here."
"MAGICAL"
This really special and lovely home is under 90 minutes from the Golden Gate Bridge (without traffic...). Fabulous, tasteful, well-maintained, and totally modern, the house is built into a hill in the redwood forest and overlooks the Russian River Valley. The thoroughly contemporary "cabin" is located near the little town of Monte Rio, CA (about 3 miles west of Guerneville). There is nothing better than sitting in that hot tub overlooking the pristine beauty of the gorgeous russian river valley. The place is great for a couple or a solo traveler who just wants to chill out in a really beautiful and special place.
About the place. The house is about 720 sq ft and thoroughly modern with an ingenious use of space.The "loft like" bedroom is atop a spiral staircase. From the bed are redwood trees framed by skylights. Linens are provided.
There is a large deck with a table for outside meals, and there is a wonderful hot tub. The hot tub will take several hours to warm up after you arrive and will get up to 104 - the manufacturer does not let the tub get hotter than 104. The hot tub is treated between guests and fully serviced on Wednesdays so if your visit includes a Wednesday the hot tub people might show up and we can let you know ahead of time at what time to expect them.
There are two couches outside as well. The speaker system for the excellent indoor/outdoor stereo system really enhances chilling out on the deck.
The place has a very modern kitchen with an electric stove. There is a gas grill on the deck, and we try to provide enough propane for the grill. You will find the usual implements of cooking destruction. Some guests bring and leave spices and oils and some things accumulate (mustard, oregano) and others go quick (olive oil). Just to be safe, if you love to cook you can bring what you know you need, or check what's been left first and just replace what you use.
You can walk down the hill to a lovely beach on the Russian River, and the walk takes about 10-15 minutes. If you are walker, you can walk about a mile to Monte Rio where there are a few restaurants, cafes, and bars (some only open in the Summer months). Guerneville, which has more restaurants and bars (including 2 gay bars) is about 3 miles away. In Guerneville and Monte Rio you can also rent canoes or kayaks for a day on the river. In the other direction, you drive along the river and in about 10 minutes come to Jenner and Goat Rock State Park, a spectacular park where river meets ocean. Bodega Bay is quite close as well. Charming Occidental, with great breakfast spots, is a short drive. You are also near the Northwood Golf Course, Armstrong Woods Park, and easily more than 50 world class wineries. Plus hiking all over the place in this overwhelming beauty.
Unlike many local listings, you get the comfort of knowing we obtained a vacation rental permit that mandates the 2 guest limit. So no additional guests and unfortunately no children or pets either. Thanks in advance for understanding.
Note that only Verizon and Sprint have a cell signal here. Also note that the "heater" option is not checked. There is no heating in this house! There is a wood burning stove, and we recommend buying wood if you would like a fire. There is kindling provided but if you might have trouble starting a fire in a fireplace, we recommend bringing Duraflame logs with you. You'll be glad you did.
The house lets in abundant light. This is by design! This is noted because some guests may want to bring an eye mask.
This place is a great opportunity to just chill out, go explore Sonoma county, taste wines - whatever you want. Many guests don't ever even want to leave the place at all. The house is gorgeous, and the area spectacular. You'll love it!
Guests have access to the entire house and surrounding property, including the hot tub, outdoor gas grill, and speaker system. Plus it is an easy walk to the Russian River for sightseeing and summer swimming.
The hosts are not present during the visits from guests. When booking is complete, we provide an access code to retrieve keys to the house and we email a "welcome letter" with house rules and suggested activities in the area. We are available 24/7 by phone and check email frequently, but try to leave guests alone.
The "neighborhood" is a 5mph country road that winds through a redwood forest. There are not many neighbors and the folks you do see out walking are friendly. The best thing about the "neighborhood" is the scenic walks, the proximity to the Russian River and surrounding activities like hiking, swimming, biking, great restaurants, and, of course, wine tasting.
Parking is included, and a car is required. Note that a large SUV will have trouble navigating the narrow country roads.
SPECIAL NOTE: Friday and Saturday bookings must include a 3rd night, either Sunday or Thursday, unless the Thursday or Sunday is already booked. Last minute exceptions can be accommodated when possible.

The name says it all. Robert's place truly is a Sonoma Russian River Redwood Escape. The hot tub, the great kitchen, the fireplace, the enormous deck, the views, the lack of cable tv, and the secluded location were the perfect ingredients for an incredibly relaxing vacation. We can't wait to come back next year!

Brett2015-12-27T00:00:00Z

Fantastic retreat! Beautiful property! My boyfriend & I had the most wonderful time at Robert's architectural cabin. It is even more beautiful than the photos & very well-designed. Robert was friendly, organized, & provided clear communication. The cabin overlooks a redwood forest with a deck perfect for breakfasts, BBQs, happy hour, etc. It was well-equipped for our cooking needs as we prepared many meals at the house. We loved using the deck table as our outdoor prep kitchen, too. The upstairs bed was warm & comfortable. We brought duraflame logs which kept things cozy during the cool night. Since I get cold, I also brought a very small space heater which was handy in the crisp, beautiful mornings. The modern bathroom is great! The cabin is well located for hiking at Sonoma State Beach which is about 15 minute scenic drive away - highly recommended for nature lovers. The rugged coast has easy, beautiful cliff-side trails. We even brought a picnic lunch to the beach. The cabin was also perfect for exploring Sonoma & Napa wineries. Robert graciously recommended an excellent restaurant in lovely Healdsburg for our Easter brunch. We hope to return and use the hot tub & try canoeing along the Russian River. There was so much to see & do, we just couldn't fit it all in. This is a wonderful place & Robert is a gracious host. We appreciate his hospitality and encourage others to experience his slice of heaven.

Lori2014-04-21T00:00:00Z

My fiancé and I enjoyed a three-night stay at Robert's Russian River redwood escape. Though this airbnb rental was not our first, it will forever be the gold standard to which all others will likely pale in comparison to. What a gorgeous, absolutely dream-worthy space! The perfect place to relax, no one at all to bother you at all. Robert was very clear and always prompt in all communication both before and during our trip (especially in light of the recent earthquake, which happened immediately prior to our arrival). He leaves a very detailed set of instructions/rules on the kitchen counter for your arrival, which shows how much pride he takes in the maintenance of this space. As Robert suggests - try to arrive during daylight. You have to drive up a very narrow and winding, one-lane road to reach the property (don't look down if afraid of heights). I'll admit it was a bit scary the first time, but totally worth it. You shouldn't have any reservation about booking this place, it is truly amazing. The best of the best :).

Erica2014-08-28T00:00:00Z

This was truly an awesome stay! We were only an hour from home, but we felt secluded in this unique treehouse experience. The view from the porch is fantastic!

Christopher2016-05-23T00:00:00Z

Everything that everyone has said about this Redwood escape is true! Robert was a great host and his communication was perfect from the beginning. He is extremely attentive and helpful. The place was absolutely beautiful, clean, and well equipped. You can't go wrong with the amazing outdoor deck and hot tub. I recommend Robert's place to anyone who visits the river!

Jenn2017-08-21T00:00:00Z

Super cute, small but layout makes it feel much bigger. Perfect for a couple getaway in the trees. Drove past at by accident at first and my partner said not knowing "oh I wish we were staying at that one". The deck and hot tub were lovely and even better than the pictures suggest. Loved that the audio set up allowed you to have music outside. DEFINITELY bring several duraflames as it gets quite chilly. Having the fireplace going just adds to the charm. Loved the town of Guerneville a short drive away. Had several very good meals there. Check in was super easy, Robert's notes were very detailed so I didn't need to contact him but made himself accessible should anything have come up.

Creekside pricing is for four guests. Each additional guest, up to seven total, is $25 per person each day.
DOGS: We gladly consider accepting well-behaved dogs at Creekside. We ask for an additional cleaning fee of $50 per stay when dogs visit. Here are the house rules for dogs:
no matter how tidy, dogs make for more work for our housekeeper so we pay her more when there's a dog staying with us.
NOTE: there is a $75 ADDITIONAL pet cleaning fee if any of the following dog rules are not fully followed:
1. ***DOGS ARE NOT ALLOWED ON FURNITURE OR ON/IN THE BEDS*** This is the biggest challenge we have and we don't have any exceptions to this rule.
2. if your dog barks when left alone, then do not leave the dog alone at the cabin. we have neighbors who can hear the barking and they sure let us know when they hear barking.
3. if your dog is totally chill when being left alone and does NOT bark, you must still always leave in his/her crate if you go out.
4. there are doggie gates on the deck so that you can secure the two deck staircases; then your dog may walk freely on the deck.
5. always pick-up after your dog and throw away the poop bags directly into the trash bin outside. even if the dog poops out-of-the-way, it must be picked up.
6. at the end of your stay, please thoroughly sweep the entire cabin with the broom & dustpan kept in the laundry room. please then dispose of all the fur/hair, etc. in the trash bin outside.
thank you for helping to make it possible for us to continue hosting dogs up at Creekside.
please remember, and so that there are no misunderstandings or surprises, if our housekeeper finds that all the fur is not swept up or if there is any fur on the beds or furniture, we will apply the ADDITIONAL $75 pet cleaning fee. I hate to be so blunt, but we have been having some real challenges with some guests ignoring the dog house rules. thank you for your understanding.
Creekside has a wonderful open floor plan with the living room, dining area, and kitchen in a large L-shape; 832 sq. ft. total. There are doors and windows EVERYWHERE. You can head out to the deck from either the kitchen or the dining room. There are two bedrooms, one with a queen bed and one with a full size bed, plus a loft above the living room that has a full size bed (you can see the ladder to the loft in the pictures; (PLEASE NOTE THAT IT ISN'T EASY FOR EVERYONE TO CLIMB THE LADDER TO THE LOFT).
WE ARE ON A DELICATE SEPTIC SYSTEM. PLEASE READ THE INFO ON THE SYSTEM IN THE HOUSE INFO BOOK ON THE DESK IN THE LIVING ROOM.
Dutch Bill Creek is a stone's throw away from the deck; you can hear the creek running from the bedrooms. The creek is seasonal, and, depending on the rainfall, goes dry from around June to October.
There is a great new 40" HD television and we have cable-tv which includes ON-Demand programming as well as streaming Netflix, Spotify, and more.
Wherever possible, we use high-efficiency florescent lights. These lights sometimes take a moment to illuminate. We do have back-up light bulbs on the top shelf of the closet in the small bedroom.

we stayed overnight at their lovely cabin. it had all the amenities we needed and was very best and clean. Jeannie was very responsive to our messages and very willing to make our stay comfortable. wifi was weak, but she got a new router. we didn't try the connection afterwards because we did not really need it. thank you, we will stay here again next time

Sumit2016-07-11T00:00:00Z

Great little cabin right next to the Russian River. Jeanie was very responsive to emails and made check-in/check-out very easy. Would definitely recommend.

Ben2016-10-23T00:00:00Z

Thank you so much for providing us with a safe, comfortable, clean, and convenient place to stay. We had a lovely time!

Brianna2016-09-17T00:00:00Z

It's a really cute place not too far of a walk from the river. It's well furnished and Jeanie was really kind and welcoming. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this spot, especially to someone visiting the "Monte Rio Vacation Wonderland"

William2016-05-19T00:00:00Z

This is a cute little spot conveniently located about 20 minutes from Jenner and the coast. The bed and pillows were very comfy, and the surrounding area is very quite and relaxing.

Keanna2016-05-15T00:00:00Z

AMAZING! Unfortunately, me and my boyfriend spent only one night at Jeanies house(but we def will come back). We had such an amazing experience. The house is small, but so charming and clean. It is so close to the river, restaurants... I definitely recommend Jeanie's house if you are looking for a wonderful/charming/quiet place to spend some quiet time. Jeanie, you are a great host. Thank you so much!

Luiza2016-08-15T00:00:00Z

The apartment is very quiet and peaceful. As described, it's only a short walk to a beach. The location provides great access to activities on the Russian River.

Perched on a hillside in the Monte Rio Terraces, this cozy one bedroom cabin is surrounded by soaring redwoods, and beautiful views through floor-to-ceiling windows. Pet friendly, sleeps up to 4, with a short walk to the beach and groceries.

Great low rates for two night minimum stays!
Get out of town and come check out a sweet, cozy cabin under the redwoods! You'll love the privacy, sweet aromas, and the soothing sounds of the flowing creek next door!
AND, if you're a lover of IPAs like me, a special treat may await you in the fridge! But please let me know several days ahead of your check-in date so I can remember to stock it up.
Here's what you'll experience at my Charming Cabin, sometimes referred to as "The TreeHouse":
Excitement builds as you climb the gentle stairway that reveals the three wide floor-to-ceiling windows of your hilltop aerie. Once tucked inside the romantic wood-paneled warmth, you will stay cool and relaxed – it’s always at least 10 degrees warmer below in town - and nighttime often offers exceptional opportunities to snuggle up with blankets – to read, write, play, or just daydream about what tomorrow holds.
The TreeHouse cabin has a wide-open feel that combines old world charm with a contemporary aesthetic and a fun, retro 50s kitchen that’s both a little bit kitschy and way classy. The kitchen retains period charm and gets some updating with a sweet eat-in dining area. As with the rest of the house, the windows look out into the redwoods with additional light provided by the kitchen skylight that opens to the stately trees above.
Fully equipped with wireless internet, phone, and television, the TreeHouse allows you to plug-in or tune into almost any century. The large overstuffed leather reading chair seems to invite you in with your hard-cover book, iPad, Nook, or last year’s stack of old magazines, to sit next to the wood burning fireplace and imagine a wintertime reverie.
One surprise may delight those seeking a different kind of getaway: located in the living room, a hidden secretary writing desk ready for your laptop. A best-selling book and scores of known essays have been penned here.
With two decks and an upper picnic/sitting area, there are plenty of outdoor spaces to enjoy the surrounding redwoods. The side deck affords the most intimate and private space with comfortable lounge chairs. Perched high above a soothing hillside stream, the forest sounds can be heard while taking in a lazy afternoon. Terraced behind the TreeHouse at the top of the property, is a sitting area anchored with a charming redwood picnic table. It’s the perfect place for larger outdoor snacking, family meals, and unwinding with your favorite beverage!
Situated high above the street, views of the remote lightly traveled hillside road are buffered through the trees providing a delightfully secluded feel.
A charming home that's perfect for 2-4 people (the sofa folds out for additional bed space), the TreeHouse is nestled in an array of trees as fragrant as they are majestic. Welcome to a new experience, one you’ll likely want to make a lifelong tradition!

The TreeHouse spot is truly magical. In fact, the whole neighborhood is. A forest cover of evergreens (mostly coast redwoods) provide a constant feeling of shade throughout the day, with a coolness of temperature that's constant, and fog that's sometimes present. Light changes (sun does break through in several places), throughout the day, provide a variety of experiences. Textures, colors and aromas will greet one as they stroll the narrow, winding roads through the neighborhood. The Terraces has friendly neighbors and visitors (several with sweet dogs). It's a cool place.

Very quaint little place with a cabin feeling. Unfortunately, there was a strong musty smell. The first thing we did was open all the windows and buy some baking soda! But we still had a good time. The place has a simple appearance, but all the appliances are newer and fully functional.

We very much enjoyed our weekend stay at David's place. The listing was just as described and David shared a lot of helpful local tips. We spent our days trail running and enjoyed some beers at Stumptown Brewery and dinner cooking at home. The kitchen had everything we needed and it was also fun to watch videos from David's VHS collection in the evenings! The house doesn't get a lot of natural light but it was a perfectly cozy weekend perch in the trees for me! The narrow road to get there was no problem from me but it could be challenging at night or for an inexperienced driver, so definitely be ready for that :)

David was a great host, very communicative. He had great recommendations! I visited the public beach on the river, took a walk in the redwood forest and visited sonoma coast state park (BEAUTIFUL BEACH!!) The cabin was lovely and exactly as described. The roads on the way up the mountain were super narrow, so I avoided trying to navigate them at night.

Sarah2015-07-08T00:00:00Z

This little place is a real find. There are porches galore and each offers a different view. And it's so quiet! A very good place to relax. David's binder has lots of information, and his recommendation for a place to eat was spot on. It's probably best to get here before dark, because the road is narrow and there are a lot of steps up.

Tranquil and serene--relax in either of the two cottages or outside in the private courtyard

Unique and inspirational space,a block from Monte Rio beach.

The neighborhood is appropriately called "Vacation Wonderland"--you are right at the beautiful Russian River, in the heart of Sonoma County wine country

We are also Airbnb hosts, and had the opportunity to be Cindi's first Airbnb guests. Our stay was lovely. A half block walk to the quaint and friendly Russian River town of Monte Rio. 5 minutes to the river beach. The rental is for two backyard cottages. One contains a kitchen with pots, pans, dishes, and some yummy snack items, kitchen table, sofa bed, and full bathroom. The other cottage, ten steps across a private patio, contains a sitting area / meditation room, and sleeping nook with a super soft and comfy full sized bed. It's really quite lovely and was the perfect getaway for us!

Rebecca2017-07-05T00:00:00Z

Very cool psychedelic pair of cottages

Dana2017-08-20T00:00:00Z

We had a very comfortable stay. The cottage is in a great location near the Russian River. I highly recommend this place to anyone thinking of visiting the area.

Arune2017-08-27T00:00:00Z

We had such a lovely time at Cindi's charming little cottage. The cottage is on the middle of Monte Rio, a 2 minute walk to the diner, a 5 minute walk to the Rio Theater, and a 10 minute walk to the Russian River. The place is small, but comfortable, and you do have to walk through a private patio between the bedroom and the kitchen/bathroom/living room but it's private and when we were there the weather was fantastic. I highly recommend this place for a weekend on the Russian river!

Erica2017-07-16T00:00:00Z

Cindi's place was perfect for what we needed. I actually really like that the sleeping area is totally separate from the other living areas, making it extremely peaceful. The entire place is very private, including the courtyard area. The only visitor was a very quiet cat. Cindi was also very accommodating of our last minute reservation.

Clea2017-08-30T00:00:00Z

Great place to stay. Just a short walk to the beach and restraunts. Clean and quiet. Awesome little court yard too.

Clayton2017-07-30T00:00:00Z

What a very relaxing stay. We arrived in the middle of the night and not having a place to stop to get a snack walked in to our cabin and there was a note from Cindi. She had left fresh fruit and a fruit tart for us. so thoughtful. The little courtyard between the bedroom cabin and the main cabin was so convenient and just beautiful.

Through your own private entrance, set on the side of a hill and above the river sits your peaceful private oasis. Leave your high heels behind and travel 70 miles north of the Golden Gate to your private master suite, bathroom and deck among gardens and redwoods. Close to wineries, hiking trails, quaint towns and the coast. Get ready to relax and create beautiful memories at Snug Arbor.

Along a pathway, down stone steps sits your private space below the main cottage. Low-key casual - decorated in a style I call "Flea Market finds Pottery Barn and bumps into Don Draper ". If this is just what the doctor ordered, please continue. Vintage chaise lounges get great afternoon sun. Or if you decide to stay snuggled in your feather mattress topped queen iron bed, that's ok too. There is a bath tub for two for soaking, (not a jacuzzi) and a seperate shower. There is also penty of closet space. You enter and leave through French doors ready for a much needed life - off the beaten path in a place where time has forgotten.

This is a wonderful eclectic and safe neighborhood. Clusters of small cottages and cabins hug the hilltop along a narrow single country road above the river and under beautiful Redwoods. Close, but yet far away. You access your private suite down steps and pathways. There is a sunny deck to relax on and headlamps are provided should you want to take an evening walk. Snug Arbor is walking distance to a few restaurants, grocery stores, a movie theater and river beaches. Keep in mind, you are on a hill, so if walking up and down hills and pathways seem problematic, take your car. You are a short drive away to Guerneville, Occidental, Duncans Mills and Jenner for more dining and shopping options. The Russian River Valley encompasses more than 15,000 acres of grapevines, 35 varieties of wine and 110 wineries. After a day of wine and great food, take to nature on the many beautiful hiking trails through the redwoods or coast. Both the ocean and canopy tours are less than a 15 minute drive.

We loved our stay! The room is lovely, feels very open with lots of windows but private as you are up among and shielded by the redwood trees. Although we didn't see Mary until the end, we felt welcomed just the same and her e-mail was a wealth of great insider information about the area.

Benjamin2016-06-22T00:00:00Z

Snug Arbor was wonderful .. quiet, cozy relaxing. A great place in the middle of the redwoods. I will be visiting again.

Ben2016-08-28T00:00:00Z

We had a great weekend at the Snug Arbor. The place was beautiful and extremely comfortable and cozy. Mary provided all the essentials including headlamps which came in handy on our late night excursions. I'm a sucker for a comfortable bed and her bed was just that! The bathroom was very large with a nice shower and tub. The wifi was excellent which was also a huge plus. If I find myself back in the area, this is the first place I'll be looking to come back to.

Raleigh2016-05-09T00:00:00Z

It was a very cute place, very private and Mary was an excellent host.

Kevin2015-08-01T00:00:00Z

Would stay again!

Sandra2017-06-04T00:00:00Z

Cute, cozy, and exactly as described. Mary was very responsive and the check-in process was a breeze. One thing to note: the jets in the tub don't work; I don't think this was mentioned in the description and I wasn't aware of this until Mary told us a day before check-in. But otherwise it was a great stay and would highly recommend.

Eilean2017-06-24T00:00:00Z

Mary's place was lovely -- great location in Monte Rio, well appointed and easy to find. We really appreciated the info on things to do nearby, restaurants, hints, etc. Thanks Mary :)

Kelly2016-05-23T00:00:00Z

Mary was an excellent host! We loved our stay at snug arbor. The room was very clean and cozy, the deck outside of our room was beautiful and surrounded by greenery. We were just a short drive away from Guerneville, which is filled with awesome places to eat. Definitely go and check out the river spots that Mary has recommended, you'll be happy you did. And I gotta mention Mary's cat, Sushi. You must like cats, because Sushi is a little lover. Mornings snuggling with him on the deck while reading our books was definitely a highlight of the trip. He really knows how to host! We will definitely be back. Thank you Mary and Sushi!

This is a great place to just kick back & relax. Take some time to just sit around the creek area & watch for ducks & birds. At night enjoy the black sky & star show with a nice warm fire in the fire pit.

Our street is semi private & a great place to take a short hike.
Watch for ducks in the creek & a variety of bird life all around.

My wife and I stayed in Lorri's house with five other friends over weekend. The house is a bit remote in the woods but Lorri provided us with detailed driving directions and check-in instructions. The rooms are very comfy and very convenient for group travel. We all had a wonderful stay and would love to recommend Lorri's place to future guests.

Leo2017-01-29T00:00:00Z

We had a wonderful stay at Steve and Lorri's lovely little house. We were set up with everything we could have wanted -- a grill, plenty of cooking tools, an outdoor fire pit (which sadly we were too tired from long days on the river to ever use!), and plenty of room for the 5 of us (both outdoor and in!). The location is great -- it's just a few minutes out of town in Monte Rio and about a 12 minute drive to Guerneville where there is more happening including a Safeway and lots of restaurants and shops. There was a bit of a hiccup in our initial communications -- Lorri wasn't receiving my messages -- but once we did connect, they were extremely accommodating, allowing us both an early check-in time and late check-out time on Memorial Day. I would definitely come back!

Moira2017-05-29T00:00:00Z

Lorri and Steve were top notch hosts. The place is very equipped to host a dinner for the family, or just relax for the weekend. A big plus, is that the kitchen was very adequately stocked with your basic cooking needs. Overall, I highly recommend for anyone looking to stay in a pet friendly home, looking to have a nice family gathering.

eric2016-12-26T00:00:00Z

Convenient location for our wine tours. Accommodations were quite adequate, a rustic cabin in a very woodsy area with beautiful redwoods. We enjoyed our stay as it fit our needs very nicely.

Jeff2017-06-18T00:00:00Z

Homemade cookies waiting in the oven, organic tomatoes from the garden, local ground coffee and milk in the fridge; the owners of Sweet Creak go above and beyond! We put the Brinkman grill to good use and enjoyed the bonfire under the stars. Our two pups loved playing fetch in the backyard. Impeccably clean.

Juliette2016-10-10T00:00:00Z

Great house, bigger than it looks in the pictures. Well stocked kitchen. Loved the cookies and coffee that were provided - such a nice thought! Would come back again.

Jane2016-10-15T00:00:00Z

The house is off a main street and easy to find based off the directions provided. We were welcomed into the home with fresh baked cookies and cucumbers from the garden. So sweet! The house is small but cozy and close to everything. It had all we needed as we cooked, barbecued, and enjoyed a fire.

Hyung2016-08-15T00:00:00Z

Lovely place- wonderful setting and exactly as advertised. We all slept deeply and awoke grateful. Lorri even left us fresh cookies. Would stay again any time. Thanks, Lorri!

Riverview cottage has glorious views of the Russian River. Have a doggie? Just let us know :-) 2-bedrooms, full bathroom, deck & Hot Tub downstairs; large, open floor plan with second deck & great river views upstairs. Beautiful & relaxing! Rates $125 to $300 depending on the dates. 12% Sonoma County Occupancy Tax will be added by AirBnB and remitted to the County. Riverview is a "No Shoes" cabin; please remove your shoes upon entry and leave them next to the upstairs bathroom on your left.

Enjoy the two floor cabin which is particularly nice when someone wants to turn in early. The hot tub is just outside the sliding glass door from both of the bedrooms. The top floor has a wide open floor plan with large dining table, a living area with couch, chair, and bench, and a fully equipped kitchen and with bar stool area to dine at the counter.
We gladly accept well behaved dogs :-) We have a $50 per visit additional cleaning fee for guests with dogs as we pay our housekeeper more for doggie guests. Please see complete Dog Rules under Basics.
If anyone has trouble with stairs, this may not be the spot. There are about 20 steps from the road to the house and about 16 steps from the first floor to the second.

Your are a short drive away from the town of Guerneville. There are multiple beaches within 20 minutes of the cabin, and the towns of Jenner and Occidental are both just a short drive away. World Class wineries abound in the Russian River area.

Our time at Riverview was very relaxing. It was chilly outside and the living room fireplace heater made the place feel extra cozy. The location was really ideal for getting to the coast- just 15 minutes and we were at the beautiful Russian River delta. We really enjoyed our time and happily recommend this place to others.

Tim2016-01-31T00:00:00Z

I am hesitant to leave this glowing review because then the secret is out about 'Riverview', the best Russian River hideaway in Monte Rio! First of all, our host Peter was very responsive and provided us with accurate, detailed and helpful info. The pictures don't quite do justice to 'Riverview' because they can't quite convey the quiet, peaceful, shady fortress of relaxation that this home is. The interior is modern and well appointed. Beds are new and comfortable. Bathrooms are newly remodeled and very clean. New carpets downstairs and bright and brand new bamboo floors upstairs. Several skylights and a great lighting design that is infinitely customizable by dimmer and multi zone configuration. View of the river is great and while the trees don't block the view, it does feel that they keep the privacy of the porch from onlookers at the beach. We are definitely planning to return! Thanks Peter!

Nick 2016-04-01T00:00:00Z

My friend and I loved Riverview! We wanted to lay low and cook in the redwoods with lots of quiet and chill around us. The cabin totally delivered! The kitchen is new and nice which was a really nice amenity. It was also nice that the living room is on a different floor from the bedrooms. It is a big space, for this area! A lot of the cabins in Monte Rio are much smaller, and less updated. Would totally rent again and thank you, Peter, we loved it. :)

Whitney2017-04-24T00:00:00Z

After moving to Florida from Sonoma County over 30 years ago, I make the trip across country to stay on the Russian River often. Monte Rio is a magical place. After staying in nearby lodges for the past few years I'm so happy to have found Peters home. I will definitely book again! I can enjoy the beautiful home and still go to the nearby lodges for a dinner or cocktail so get the best of both worlds. Easy check in and out, great location, clean and nicely decorated!

Bonita & John2016-11-07T00:00:00Z

Another wonderful stay at Riverview! Last minute stay and Peter was more than gracious with accommodating our request! Hope to stay again soon!

Alyssa2015-12-02T00:00:00Z

Peter was fabulous. Responsive, accommodating, friendly. The cottage is absolutely adorable. Great open layout, fabulous location, and the hot tub! Magic. Will definitely be returning. We had a great time!

Catalina2016-01-20T00:00:00Z

Peter was an amazing host from start to finish! He provided detailed directions and so much great information about the home before we arrived so there weren't any surprises, and even with that, the home was even better than the pictures portrayed! It's the perfect home away from home to relax and unwind. We'll definitely be back!

Lindsay2016-03-08T00:00:00Z

My stay at Riverview was great! The home was very clean, comfortable and had all the amenities described. I had a mix of sunshine and heavy rain so I got to enjoy time hiking, exploring the Russian River area, nearby Jenner and Bodega Bay. When it was raining, I got to enjoy the gas stove, hot tub and cooking in the well-equipped kitchen. Peter was great with his communication and responded quickly to address a minor issue. The highlights for me were evenings in the hot tub, the drive to Jenner and hiking in Armstrong Redwoods. If I can make the trip again, the only other thing I'd do is rent a kayak to enjoy the river. Thanks Peter!

Ideal for a romantic getaway. In summer have fun in the sun at the Russian River. in winter enjoy the spectacular sights and enjoy what Sonoma County wine country has to offer! Located in downtown Monte Rio. Enjoy hiking trails, biking and river fun.

A charming studio cottage sharing the same property with another similar cottage and a main house, sleeps 2 and small child. Access to the river is from the back of the property with a lovely meadow area between the property and the river. It has cozy gas and electric operated fireplace and wall heater, private deck with BBQ and hot tub for your enjoyment. The private deck is great for keeping dogs from straying off

There are restaurants, tavern, theater, tennis courts, skate park and beach in Monte Rio. Shopping, antiquing, coffee bars wine bar in the town of Guerneville, 4 miles away. There is an award-winning 9-hole golf course, Northwood, less than 1 mile away. The coast where the river meets the ocean at Jenner is 9 miles away. Wineries are also within a short drive. Hiking trails and biking. Something for everyone!

Loved the location it was absoultly gorgeous right on the river. I will definitely be back soon! At night the jacuzzi was so nice to hang out in and the bed was very very comfortable.

Taylor2017-06-18T00:00:00Z

This is a really great spot, if you want a nice quiet private bungalow to rent. Monte Rio and the adjacent town as really great to explore and find great food, wine, hiking and more to enjoy.

William2017-02-20T00:00:00Z

The host personalized our stay with a bottle of Champaign and a rose to congratulate us on our wedding stay.

Britni2017-08-13T00:00:00Z

What a wonderful little spot I found! Cottage 1 was exactly what I was looking for for my private, little me-cation away from the city. It is super cute, has a lovely deck with a private hot tub and grill, a gorgeous and relaxing view, and literally steps away from the beach. Being dog friendly was a necessity so I was very pleased to see the cottage allowed dogs. Will definitely return in the future.

Radha2017-08-11T00:00:00Z

My husband, dog and I stayed in the lovely Meadowview Cottage #1, the smallest of the three on the Meadowview Cottages property in sweet little Monte Rio, CA. We had a wonderful experience. Booking: Despite my most likely irritating ineptitude with booking early on, Stephen was quick to respond to all of my questions and requests. We got a great deal for our last minute getaway, and I was very impressed by Stephen's patience and helpfulness. Thanks Stephen! Getting there: The directions given were spot on and easy to follow. We've been to the area several times, and love the string of little towns on River Road. Such a pretty drive! Arrival: Although the cottages are set relatively close together, ours still felt very private. I'm fairly certain all three cottages were rented, and we barely saw and never heard our neighbors. If your group is interested in renting out all three cottages, there is a sweet little lawn area with picnic tables for congregating. If you'd like to take a jaunt down to the river, access couldn't be easier from this spot. Each cottage features a lovely stone path to a gate which leads to a large meadow or lawn area, from which you are able to access the beach. We skipped rocks and let our dog run around in the gravel and water--lots of fun! Dogs: Speaking of pups, this place is very dog friendly! They even have dog bowls, waste baggies, a leash, towels specifically reserved for your pup, as well as a designated dog blanket. Seeing all that in the little closet put a smile across my face--such a nice touch! Plus, it was so nice having the big, open grassy area to toss the ball around for our girl. Inside: Inside this rustic little cottage you will find a comfy (yet firm) queen-size memory foam mattress, decked out in simple, very soft sheets. It was clean and well kept; nice use of such a small space. There was a table with two chairs, a lounge chair, a TV/VCR/DVD combo with a great selection of movies, a gas fireplace and a small but very well-appointed kitchen. The bathroom is a good size, and the water pressure was great in the shower, and got hot quickly. They have little hotel shampoos and soaps for your convenience, along with extra tissues, toilet paper and towels, including towels for the beach/hot tub. It had everything we needed and more. Outside: At the foot of the bed, next to the gas fireplace, a sliding glass door leads to a small, private deck, with grown in star jasmine (evergreen) for privacy. It was really quite lovely! On the deck is a very nice propane grill, a patio table with two chairs, and (my favorite) a two-person (maybe technically 3-person?) hot tub. The evening chill was a perfect compliment to a warm soak in the jacuzzi, as well as in the early morning hours, at which time you can watch the fog...

Maggie2015-11-09T00:00:00Z

Lovely, cozy cabin. The hit tub is nice! Great biking nearby.

Jonathan2017-03-19T00:00:00Z

Stephen's place was great! Close to the river, the hot tub was really nice, and our dog loved the meadow. The internet was a little spotty, but that's probably par for the course in the area. All in all, and really relaxing couple days.

Charming cabin nestled in the redwoods. Built in 1906. Freestanding outdoor fireplace next to the hot tub. Great fire pit for s'mores. Lots of games, books and toys. Sleeping mats and playpen for children. A step back to simple pleasures.

We are a ten minute walk to the beach, downhill and a ten mile drive to the ocean at Jenner. Another ten minutes inland is Guerneville, gateway to Armstrong Woods.
This is Pinot country. Westside road hosts some of the best Pinots and varietal wines in the world. The views of the vineyards are spectacular on a drive towards Healdsburg.
We are just up the hill from the Bohemian Grove and a world away. We have spotted Eagles hovering above the redwoods. On a clear night there are a million stars viewable from the hot tub. We have a great movie theatre recently digitized. Lots of dining options if you don't like to cook.

Great communication from the host. The space was clean and inviting, and we had a totally relaxing stay!

We had a lovely time at Bohemian Groove. The pictures don't do the space justice it is impeccably decorated and really cozy. The house had all the comforts of home with enough unique touches to remind you that you were on vacation. And the outdoor hot tub among the redwoods was an awesome highlight. Also, conveniently located to amenities and river access. We had an issue with the internet the first day and Catherine responded quickly and took care of the issue. All in all, a delightful experience!We will definitely be back!

Matt2015-05-20T00:00:00Z

We had a wonderful time at the Bohemian Groove. Getting in was painless, the property was spotless and ready for a great week of relaxing! The property is fairly secluded, but it is a large neighborhood that can sometimes have a fair bit of noise during the day. They had extras for all the stuff we forgot and the kitchen was fully stocked with all the spices we could need. If you cook a lot, this is a great place to do it. Great access to all the nearby Russian River Valley wineries and it's also not too far from Sonoma and Napa. We would definitely consider coming back when we do wine country again. There is no cell signal out here for AT&T, but there was wifi provided. When it had issues the host was able to resolve them super fast!

Justin2014-09-07T00:00:00Z

The house was as expected/describe. It's really quiet and yet close to the stores in Monte Rio. We enjoyed our stay. Cathrin, the host, and her husband came by at the end and gave us a bunch of excellent recommendation re drive/food, etc. really nice people.

Johannes2015-08-02T00:00:00Z

We enjoyed this cozy cabin in Monte Rio! Catherine was really communicative and caring about our time there. The place has been charmingly and thoughtfully decorated, and the home was very comfortable, including the main bed. The home does not have a dishwasher, but honestly, that added to the charm of the cabin "feel." We had a great weekend here! Thank you!

Beth truly does have a charming cabin! The art pieces around the house, the piano - each little detail give it such life and character. Beth was very friendly and accommodating. There is a sweet little cat, and the neighborhood is adorable. You're a quick walk to the Russian River and a little market. In the evenings the stars are brilliant from the porch hot tub.

We enjoyed our visit in Monte Rio. From Beth's artistic home we ventured out to Armstrong Woods, Korbel winery, and followed the Russian River to the beautiful Pacific coast. The king bed was very comfortable, peaceful, and a great home base from which to explore. Beth is a very knowledgable host with helpful suggestions about visiting the area. Coffee in the morning was a great way to start our daily adventures. Beth even accommodated our early check in!

Marc2016-05-27T00:00:00Z

Beth is very pleasant and hospitable. She is helpful in terms of places to go. Beth appeared to make an effort to give us space, which is good as the rented bedroom is inside a modestly sized home. She also was generous in offering coffee, tea, cereals, though not included in the listing.

Duncan Mills, just down the road, great coffee and breakfast, as well as a quite little winey, that offers a Friday night tasting!! Armstrong Woods, local state park - great for a long or short hike! Second stay here and will definitely come back again!

The Monte Rio Pool House was the perfect place for us this past weekend! We were attending a wedding in Monte Rio, and were able to walk the short beautiful mile down the hill and across the river to the site. The house is exactly as pictured in the site. We arrived while Rick was at work, but he had left as sign out for us indicating which house was his, and had great small amenities ready to go (coffee, sugar, popcorn, toothpaste, shampoo, etc.). We sat in the hot tub, and lounged on the back porch. He also had the grill and the bonfire ready to go, but we were unable to use them as we were so busy with the wedding. We definitely would go back if we're ever in the area again!

The Monte Rio Pool House was a perfect respite for our weekend getaway for my husband's birthday. Tucked away in the redwoods, it had everything we needed for a relaxing weekend in the redwoods. Rick was kind and welcoming but left us to enjoy time alone. We will definitely be back!

This delightful redwood cottage was WONDERFUL! Rick was a thoughtful, caring, and helpful host. The cottage is beautifully and thoughtfully appointed with everything you need, and the hot tub under the redwoods is TO DIE FOR!

Ricks Pool house is the perfect place for couples to enjoy a weekend away from the city. He provides everything you need to have a wonderful stay in Monte Rio. The Hot tub, private deck, and fire pit were amazing added bonuses. The Houses location is ideal and we found easy access to hikes and the coast.

The poolhouse was amazing! Super cute and we had everything we needed. Rick was a great host, made sure I had the right directions, and showed us how to work everything. Will definitely be back!

This place was secluded in woods, which was a perfect getaway from the city life. Hot tub right outside, and a pool if the weather was a little warmer. Little studio had all the amenities that you would ever need, stove, fridge, utensils, spices, TV with videos, books and including Wi-Fi! We will definitely be back!

Such a lovely space! Rick is kind, friendly, and hospitable but was also generous about giving us space. My partner and I spent a weekend here and had a fantastic time drinking wine, hot tubbing under the stars, and grilling. The house feels secluded but it walkable to Monte Rio beach on the river -- a definite plus. The bathroom and kitchenette in the poolhouse are both small, but more than big enough for two. Highly recommended!
